Did you use any third-party assets or skeleton code?
I borrowed some code from KidsCanCode's grid-based movement system for the player movement, but everything else I coded myself.

It would be incredible to be able to play another piece of the chessboard! great game thank you very much !!
Love the interpretation of bullet hell - right from the Main Menu the game won me over.
Straightforward concept that takes advantage of most people already knowing how chess works, so no explanation needed for each piece's pattern. The music fits in nicely and assets are clean.
Great game and Godot hype
cool game but the playing field is too small, otherwise everything is cool
This is a great idea executed well. I think your bullet speed may be tied to refresh rate because the speed is super fast on my 144hz display, barely any time to dodge. Setting my monitor to 60hz made it much more playable.
Refresh rates wasn't something I ever considered while making the game. I'll have to keep that in mind for later projects. Thanks for telling me!
Interesting game ! I did not expect to see a chess themed game in this jam !
It is pretty fun to play, the only design problem I see is that it is a bit too much unforgiving. There is little feedback to know when an enemy will shoot, and the window of opportunity to attack is really small. Maybe adding a health system would be good, to make the game feel less punitive.
Very very cool game! I like the concept and you executed it well.
I would have expected the king to be able to move diagonally, but with the fast-paced movement it kind of works without. I also feel the game is a little too RNG dependent, if you get three bishops spawned next to each other, they can cover most of the board.
The music fit very well, and the sound effects were nice.
Overall, I had a lot of fun playing the game! Good job 😃
Ok the theme on this is excellent! Chess piece pandemonium! All works together very well great job!
Oooo this is really cool! I actually played another game in this jam with the same concept and my feedback was to integrate the actual chess piece movement more into the game, which is what this does well!
Love chess. Love fast-pace game. The style fits together really well, and the gameplay is very smooth. Very nice.
Three things I like: Chess. Touhou. And the ability to make a total blunder of myself with a highscore of 20. Great work!
Very fun game, I wish you could move diagonally. All around super creative idea.
